Chapter 348 Human Massacre with Bloody Hands

The starry sky is vast, empty and lonely.

Even though there are billions of stars dotting the sky, it doesn't seem crowded.

However, the Ninth Holy City of the human race, located deep in the starry sky, gives people an extremely depressing feeling at this moment. The monks in the city all feel suffocated as if they were trapped in a cage.

Even with the starry sky above my head, I still felt like the sky was falling.

The city wall was thick, with dense Taoist patterns flashing on it, and a murderous aura was blowing in the face.

The city defense formation was activated to its maximum.

Walking through the streets and alleys, Li Zhi hardly saw any pedestrians. Instead, he saw that all the mansions in the city had raised protective formations.

When we arrived at the city gate tower, we saw tens of thousands of monks standing on the city wall.

But only half of the monks were wearing armor.

"Commander-in-chief, this Taoist priest is a trial-taker who just came from the Eighth City. He is willing to help us defend the city." When they arrived at the city wall, the soldier who led Li Zhi came to the commander-in-chief of the Ninth City of the human race and reported.

"A trial-taker from the Eighth City? That's impossible. The five-colored altar for entering and exiting the Ninth City was sealed by the City Lord yesterday. How did he get in?" The commander-in-chief said seriously.

"But he did walk out of the domain gate constructed by the five-colored altar. I saw it with my own eyes." said the soldier.

"Come on, take me to see him. If he is a spy, it will be a disaster for us." The commander-in-chief of the Ninth City said with some concern.

Soon, they arrived at a large camp located at the base of the city wall.

After seeing Li Zhi, the commander-in-chief's expression changed slightly, and he said very politely: "I am Zhen Yifan, the commander-in-chief of this city. May I ask what your name is, Taoist priest?"

"I'm Li Zhi, my Taoist name is Changshou. Nice to meet you, Commander Zhen." Li Zhi bowed slightly.

"What, you are the Bloody Hand Butcher." Commander Zhen looked at Li Zhi in surprise and blurted out.

"Bloody Hand Butcher? What do you mean?" Li Zhi said with some surprise.

"I am sorry for my words. Taoist Changshou, please come in and take a seat." Commander Zhen quickly apologized.

Later, Li Zhi learned the origin of his nickname from Commander Zhen.

Because he started from the first city of the human race, he set out alone and killed all the trial participants who were traveling with him.

Afterwards, he killed a group of evil gods outside the second city of the human race, and even spared the souls of the evil gods after their death, causing many monks in the second city of the human race to secretly give him a nickname, called "Blood Hand Butcher".

Later on, Li Zhi almost always traveled alone, and almost all of his companions died, which seemed to confirm his reputation.

So much so that the reputation of "Bloody Hand Butcher" began to spread on the ancient road.

As the commander-in-chief of the ninth city of the human race, he naturally had to know all kinds of news from the ancient road.

Li Zhi's notoriety was naturally the focus of his attention.

When Li Zhi heard Commander Zhen's explanation, a hint of embarrassment appeared in his eyes.

He is not a murderer. The reason why those who traveled with him died was simply because they overestimated their own abilities.

When Li Zhi was training in the previous levels, he would naturally choose the most dangerous place to hone himself.

However, when those people saw that Li Zhi was able to succeed in the most dangerous places, they became excited as if they were injected with chicken blood, and they stepped into those dangerous places one after another.

The result is naturally one tragedy after another.

Some dark-minded people blamed Li Zhi for their deaths.

It seemed as if Li Zhi had killed them.

In fact, apart from a few trial-takers who attacked him, he did not kill any other trial-takers.

After all, as a Taoist, "compassion" is a kind of cultivation.

"Master Changshou, since you are here, there is no difference between you and the supporters we call for. You can kill a star fleet composed of evil gods by your own strength, so those enemies outside are naturally no problem." Commander Zhen said to Li Zhi with a happy face.

"What's the situation outside the city? There should be a lot of masters in the city. With a coalition force of only 80,000 people, are there hundreds of masters with cultivation levels above saints among them?" Li Zhi asked.

"The strength of the coalition forces of the four tribes, the Light Tribe, the Holy Spirit Tribe, the Winged Tribe, and the Origin Demon Tribe, is not as exaggerated as you said, Taoist priest. There are only sixteen masters above the saint level." Commander Zhen hurriedly explained to Li Zhi, fearing that Li Zhi had misjudged the opponent's strength.

Then, Commander Zhen told Li Zhi about the situation in the city, including a guide of the late Saint King level, a Saint King ancestor of a major force in the city, and a Saint King-level guardian of the ancient roads who came to support him. In addition, there were three commanders of the late Saint level, and three captains of the middle Saint level.

Apart from that, the rest are some soldiers at the semi-saint or king level.

"There should be quite a few masters on the Ancient Trial Road, and there should be no shortage of saints among them. Why are there so few saints on the city walls?" Li Zhi asked with a little confusion.

"Don't mention them." It seemed that all the trial participants stranded in the Ninth City were useless, which made Commander Zhen look disappointed.

"Can you take me to the top of the city wall to see what's happening outside?" Li Zhi then said.

"Of course you can. Taoist Changshou, please follow me." Commander Zhen said.

Outside the ancient city, in the starry sky, more than a hundred warships are spread out. Chains of order connect those warships together, forming a huge starry sky formation with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Moreover, above the large formation of warships, sixteen majestic figures released tremendous holy power, and linked together as if they were going to sweep away the ninth ancient city of the human race.

The aura of the four people in the lead was especially terrifying.

The Holy King of the Light Clan with four faces and eight arms exudes dazzling holy light like a deity; the Holy Spirit King with a half stone and half flesh body gives off a terrifying aura that covers the world; the Holy King of the Demon Clan, whose real body is shrouded in monstrous demonic energy, looks like an ancient demon; the Holy King of the Winged Clan with a pair of white wings on his back has the phantom of a holy angel floating beside him, as if he is standing in the kingdom of God.

Fortunately, although their aura was strong, it had not reached the level of the late Saint King, so Li Zhi could still deal with it.

As for the twelve saints behind them, Li Zhi thought they posed little threat.

There is a murderous atmosphere in the starry sky.

"Master Changshou, they are all well-known and established Saint Kings." Commander Zhen was about to introduce those people's names to Li Zhi.

But Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I am not interested in their names."

"Master Changshou, I will take you to see the guide." Commander Zhen planned to lead Li Zhi to the tower to see the guide of the ninth city. "There are just a few scumbags. I will take care of them and then go to see the guide." Li Zhi's blood was boiling, and it seemed that he was ready to attack now.

"Master Changshou, are you going to leave the city to kill the enemy now? Absolutely not. The city gates must not be opened at this time." Commander Zhen said.

"I'm afraid the confrontation won't last too long. By then, they will definitely take the initiative to attack. We can rely on the ancient city's solid defense to consume their magic power to the maximum extent, and then wait for them to tire themselves out before we go out of the city and fight them in a decisive battle."

"There's no need to set up a city defense formation just for me." Li Zhi shook his head slightly.

Then, a starry avenue appeared under his feet, passing through the city defense formation unhindered and extending into the starry sky outside the ancient city.

At this moment, the solid and immortal city defense formation seemed to be useless in front of Li Zhi. Li Zhi walked on the Avenue of Stars, and the whole person passed through the barrier and appeared in the void outside the city.

"Who is guarding the thirteen people in Area C? There is such an obvious loophole. Fix it for me immediately." Inside the city tower, the city's guide saw a starry avenue that was ten feet wide extending from the city wall to the outside world. Thinking that there was a loophole in the city defense formation, he immediately shouted.

When Commander Zhen saw Li Zhi easily pass through the city defense formation, he was completely numb.

Then, excitement flashed in his eyes. The stronger Li Zhi was, the higher the probability that the ancient city would be able to stop the enemy.

At the same time, he also understood why after the Five-Colored Altar was sealed by the Guide, Li Zhi was still able to enter the city with the help of the void passage opened by the altar.

The city lord's formation skills are obviously not on the same level as Li Zhi's.

After the Avenue of Stars entered the void, it immediately became larger, and there seemed to be thousands of stars twinkling in it. The starlight of various colors gathered together and built a starlight bridge in the boundless void.

"Finally, there is someone among the human race who is not a coward and dares to go out of the city to fight." The Holy King of the Light Clan spoke immediately after seeing Li Zhi appear in the starry sky in front of them.

Inside the city tower, the city lord and other saint kings also saw Li Zhi's back.

"Who sent him out to die? Do you know that every saint is a valuable fighting force?" The city lord said in shock and anger.

Although he is the lord of the ninth city of the ancient road of the human race and possesses the cultivation of the Saint King level, his actual combat power is not that strong. He is far inferior to the guide who is at the peak of the Saint King level and guards the first level of the ancient road of the human race.

"City Lord, the person who went out of the city to fight is the trial-taker who has just arrived in our city, Taoist Priest Changshou." Commander Zhen came to the city tower and introduced him to the city lord.

"Bloody Hand Butcher?" blurted out the guide from the Ninth City.

"It is none other than the Bloody Hand Butcher Li Changshou. And from what I see, Taoist Changshou seems to be sure of victory." Commander Zhen said.

"Definite victory? What a joke. How old is he, how much can he do?" said the guardian who was sent from the back of the ancient road.

"Master Protector, Taoist Li is different. He is a genius like Young Master Di Tian, ​​Fairy Qing Shi, Great Demon God, and Overlord. He cannot be judged by common sense." Commander Zhen said.

"How can you be so reckless?" Another Saint King in the city also said with a hint of regret, as if he didn't believe that Li Zhi was a genius of that level.

In the starry sky, billions of starlights were drawn by Li Zhi from the Zhoutian, almost condensing the starry avenue under his feet into substance.

The area around Li Zhi turned into a starry pure land.

"Little pretty boy, let your demon grandpa love you well." A saint from the Yuanmo clan stood up with a loud laugh, seemingly not taking Li Zhi seriously.

"Are you alone? I don't want to bully the weak, so you should come together." Li Zhi said lightly without any change in his expression.

"What an arrogant human boy. Blood Demon, kill him as a sacrifice." The Saint King of the Yuan Demon Clan said.

"Flag? That's right, I'm alone and I just lack someone to carry the flag." Li Zhi seemed to have just realized that his momentum was not as big as the one on the opposite side.

Then Li Zhi changed the subject and said to the blood demon who jumped out: "Why not use this fellow Taoist's flesh and blood to make a flag."

"court death."

Feeling that Li Zhi was looking at him as if he was looking at a material for refining a weapon, the Blood Demon, who had cultivated the magical power of blood, immediately attacked Li Zhi in anger.

"The sea of ​​blood is surging."

A sea of ​​blood suddenly appeared in the void, with surging waves and the sound of countless spirits roaring, which seemed to be able to tear apart the opponent's soul.

"The starlight is like a furnace, the road is the fire, human blood is the guide, and the battle flag is out!"

Li Zhi was not to be outdone and directly displayed his infinite magical powers. A terrifying force of transformation flew out from his palm and directly turned into a silver furnace.

The blood demon had no chance to escape and was sucked into the furnace.

The silver flames began to burn, and the terrifying power of transformation contained in the flames made the Saint Kings change color.

"what!"

After only two or three breaths, a scream was heard from inside the silver furnace, and at the same time, countless evil spirits flew out from the furnace created by the Huatian Divine Palm.

At that time, Li Zhi practiced for more than half a year outside the ancient star outside the second-level Taikoo Taoist temple of the human race with the help of the silver Taoist flame. Not only did his Taoism stabilize at the seventh level of Saint, but his understanding of the Transformation Palm that he obtained from the Taoist temple of the Henren Emperor reached a superb and profound level.

"Bang, crash, crash!"

A moment later, the furnace exploded, and a battle flag emitting monstrous bloody energy appeared in the starry sky.

Using bones as a pole, flesh as a flag, holy blood as ink, and the original spirit as firewood, Li Zhi finally refined the Blood Demon at the fifth level of Sainthood into a battle flag in just ten breaths.

On the battle flag, there are two large ancient divine characters engraved, "Longevity".

The battle flag fluttered vigorously in the starry sky, exuding a overwhelming momentum, and then was inserted by Li Zhi into the void behind him.

"You have mastered the 'Soldier' ​​secret among the Nine Secrets." The Holy King of the Light Clan said.

The voice was filled with infinite murderous intent, and seemed to have a hint of greed.

"I not only mastered the secret of the word 'Bing', but also the secret of the word 'Lin'. Do you want it? If you want it, come and kill me." Li Zhi said with disdain.

"This man is at the eighth level of sainthood. You are no match for him in a one-on-one fight. Come together and kill him for me." The Holy King of the Light Clan spoke directly to the saints, but had no intention of attacking Li Zhi immediately.

It seemed as if Li Zhi was not worthy of his attack.

The other three Saint Kings had no intention of taking action either, as if none of them were willing to lower their status and engage in a bloody battle with a Saint.

Then, a tragedy happened right in front of them.
